Events

Match Events

  • 0' The game is set. FC Metz kicks off things out of here…
  • 5' Dylan Bronn needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 2 Red cards this season.
  • 6' Ludovic Ajorque adds to his 0 season tally! RC Strasbourg Alsace lead 1-0 — and this changes everything.
  • 11' FC Metz fans have not had much to celebrate tonight. Their side is struggling to get forward.
  • 16' A quiet spell here at Stade de la Meinau. FC Metz seem content sitting deep and soaking up pressure.
  • 17' A meaty challenge results in booking for Ludovic Ajorque on 17.
  • 22' RC Strasbourg Alsace is showing some good football. However, RC Strasbourg Alsace are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
  • 26' A goal from the Senegal international Habib Diallo! He fires home on 26 to make it 2-0!
  • 28' Fabien Centonze is having his name booked by the referee on 28.
  • 29' Gerzino Nyamsi catches the referee's attention in entirely the wrong way. Yellow card on 29.
  • 34' Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 34 minutes.
  • 39' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
  • 40' GOAL! Habib Diallo fires home to make it 3-0!
  • 44' The referee has no hesitation. Boubacar Kouyate is booked for FC Metz — Yellow card on 44.
  • 46' It is a substitution in FC Metz team. Vincent Pajot is replaced by Boubacar Traore on 46 minute.
  • 51' We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 56' It looks surprising RC Strasbourg Alsace does not make any changes. Jean Aholou has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
  • 61' Supporters expect more eagerness from Fabien Centonze, as he is very good at scoring at Stade de la Meinau with 0 goals in the last 0 games.
  • 66' Players seem to put ease on their energy level Spectators hardly appreciate such approach. Teams need to speed up the tempo.
  • 67' A tactical swap from RC Strasbourg Alsace — Sanjin Prcic on, Jean Aholou off on 67 minutes.
  • 68' The RC Strasbourg Alsace bench stirs into life. Habib Diallo is withdrawn and Kevin Gameiro gets his opportunity.
  • 73' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Boubacar Kouyate suffering a number of foals already.
  • 75' Karol Fila is ready to make an impact after coming on for Frederic Guilbert at the 75 minute mark.
  • 80' Both keepers have barely been tested. RC Strasbourg Alsace and FC Metz are cancelling each other out in the centre of the park.
